how useful is the mirror?

The Quick-pod is an awesome item and is very practical. Now you don't have to bother strangers to take your picture. The unit works really well, however the plastic has a tendency to crack when you use a heavier camera. I loved my Quik-Pod. I don't even recall the mirror at all. No get some cool shots.

It works pretty well as a mirror, it behaves as though you are looking through a tinted Window. I have no complaints.

Could probably use for either. Very nice I use as a desk in adult bedroom, didn't attach the mirror. I thought it was very well made. Keep the little device to tighten the bolts that attach the legs. If you use it a lot, you may need to occasionally tighten the legs. I had no problems, very sturdy.

Better to use a magnifying mirror that has a light built in. Much more effective for seeing her face close up!

The mirror always magnifies 5X. It is helpful in plucking stray hairs and putting on eye makeup.

not that I notice. I really like this mirror. I took it off the other day to just see how it was before, and I thought "how in the world did I drive without this?"

Mirror needs to have some place to hang from. As long as u can loop it around the head rest u can use it.

yes. The mirror opens but not all the way flat which is good if you have sconces on each side

The answer (seems to me) to be completely one of personal choice and physical set up in the area where you're going to use the mirror. While it swivels and extends/contracts easily the fitment of parts are tight and will stay where you position it. I've actually got mine on the wall behind where I sit and use it for rear view of my head - or - I turn to use it up close.

Without seeing the mirror, I couldn't confirm the fit -- but I've never seen a modern mirror that it wouldn't fit on. As for its utility, it absolutely would provide a tremendous improvement. We had a simila mirror on a Dodge Maxi Van many years ago, and it was a godsend!

Yes, but the magnified mirror is the one on top so the regular one is really even harder to use because it's so low to the table. You could use it to put in a contact but even applying mascara is difficult because its only big enough to see one eye at a time. It's just a very awkwardly designed mirror. I was excited to have a travel mirror for our Ireland trip but found it to be totally useless. Wish you were here, I'd just give you mine.

This is quite magnified. You will use this for eyebrow plucking and detailed eye makeup application. It is not good to look at your whole face - just a small part of it - but it is perfect for that. I love this mirror!!

It is large very mirror. I can't answer it completely because I returned mine....the mirror is terrible! It's distorted, and I found it to be a piece of junk.

It could be if you were in a bind and good at shaving by feel. This mirror isn't large enough to be used effectivly for vanity purposes in my opion. It's only 2"x 3" and the sight hole in the mildle take up a substantle portion of your refection.

It is not very bright except right at the edges. So you have to have it in a well-lit area to be functional but then your face casts shadows in the middle. But if you are looking at a part of your face that's near the lit edges, then it's good. Overall I like the mirror, mostly for it's compact design (easy to pack and move around) and extreme magnification, but the dim lighting in the middle is a negative.

I've traveled with it & looking at it right now, no scratches & I'm a bit reckless with my belongings. Good mirror for the price.

I would not use this for a mirror. In fact, I would only use this for something that could safety be dropped from where it is attached, because it will be dropped.
